We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Symone Allison a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Symone, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Navigating through life I hit a pitfall after 3 car accidents and started to spiral with anxiety and depression. I went through cognitive testing and at one-point doctors wanted to do MRIs on my brain due to them finding I deal with high anxiety & depression disorder causing memory loss. In order for me to feel like myself again I had to find passion in something.
I started to create crafts on candles and soap making and much more after seeing videos of cupcake candles, I wanted to challenge myself. I found my purpose in helping calm others with luxury and therapeutic scents to help with anxiety and long days at work. In 2021 I woke up so determined and that’s when Beauty is Self-Love was birthed.
Creating the candles & soaps calmed my anxiety tremendously and pulled me out of depression entirely. With the scents I create for each candle and each soap my entire home smells amazing and so calming, I then became determined to provide therapeutic and natural Turmeric soaps and Candles around the world.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am very passionate about the therapeutic and natural Turmeric soaps and Candles that I create. My mission is to provide others with calming and moisturizing results. With creating a sense of Self-Love with every scrub and to feel at peace when adding a little Light to your everyday Self-Care Routine. I love that I am able to bring results with my skincare products, when I initially started, I was making all kinds of soaps until I found great pleasure in creating a specific ingredient to help with dry skin (Eczema, Psoriasis) and other skin issues. Whenever someone used the turmeric soaps or the sea moss body scrub, I always received amazing responses on what my products was doing for their skin. All products can be found on IG @Beauty_is_SelfLove.
My other Passion, I am the Co-Founder of the Self Love Tour where we have dedicated every 3 months each tour to helping women overcome past trauma of all kinds. From childhood trauma, relationship trauma, friendship & even family trauma. Creating a safe space for women & teaching them how important loving SELF is. Deep conversations regarding each person’s love language and we include engaging activities such as “Mirror Work”. We’ve even had panelist with backgrounds such as Science in Mental Health and a coach on “How to Love a Battered Woman”. We also offer sponsorship to other business owners and brands of all kinds. The next tour will be in Dallas TX October 21st and tickets can be found on Eventbrite and we can be followed on IG @Selflovetour.
With the simple idea of bringing the best from me to you. I put lots of love and careful thought into all that I do. I hope you enjoy all I have to offer and share the experience with others.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
I believe the best areas of knowledge that were most impactful in my journey would have to be networking and courses I’ve taken. Network is your Networth, and it is really what gave me a boost of understanding on how important it is to do the footwork for your brand. If you’re not out there introducing yourself, walking your brand, how is anyone going to know what it is that you do? People love to get to know who the face behind the brand is and it’s always great to put yourself in rooms filled with likeminded people. Learning with each other and supporting one another has been the greatest support system for me. Taking extra courses and classes also to learn more knowledge in the industry you’re in is a plus. I believe there is always room for improvement, and you can never know too much!!
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
